The AeroPress Clear: A New Level of Coffee and Cocktail Creation

The AeroPress has always been a staple in the world of premium coffee, known for its versatility, portability, and ability to brew exceptional coffee anywhere. But what if I told you it could also transform the way you craft your favorite infusions and cocktails?

Enter the AeroPress Clear.

Why the AeroPress Clear?

The AeroPress Clear is not just a sleek upgrade with a transparent body, it's a game-changer for those who want to elevate their coffee and cocktail experiences. Its design is not only perfect for brewing coffee but also works brilliantly for making flavor-packed infusions and syrups. With the pressure of plunging, you can extract the richest flavors, while the microfilter helps eliminate any unwanted bitter oils and infused particles.

This means you get pure, bold flavors without the grit. It's time to think beyond coffee—use the AeroPress to infuse flavors for your next coffee cocktail!

The AeroPress Cocktail Experience

To show just how versatile the AeroPress Clear can be, we’re highlighting the Espresso Martini. This recipe shows off the AeroPress in two unique ways:

1. Infusion: Use the AeroPress Clear to create a flash infusion Vanilla Vodka.
2. Coffee: Brew a strong, aromatic coffee that pairs perfectly with the infusion for a luxurious coffee cocktail experience.

Recipe: Espresso Martini with Vanilla

Ingredients:

• 1 Vanilla Bean, split
• 1 oz. Simple syrup (1:1 ratio of sugar to water)
• 30g of coffee for 1 shot of AeroPress-brewed coffee (strong and rich)
• 2 oz. Vodka (we used Gary’s Good Vodka)
• .5 oz. coffee liqueur (we used Mr. Black)
• Ice
• Optional: Vanilla pod or coffee beans for garnish

Step 1: Making the Vanilla Infusion

1. In the AeroPress Clear, combine the vanilla bean and vodka.
2. Stir the ingredients, then attach the plunger, let sit for 5 minutes (longer for a more intense flavor).
3. Slowly press down to extract the vanilla flavor.

Step 2: Brewing the Coffee

1. Rinse out the AeroPress Clear.
2. Add finely ground coffee and hot water to brew a shot of strong coffee using your AeroPress. We used 30 g of espresso ground coffee for a “double shot.”
3. Stir the coffee for 10 seconds and immediately attache the plunger.
4. Wait 1 minute then slowly press down to extract the coffee.

Step 3: Crafting the Cocktail

1. In a shaker, combine the vanilla infused vodka, Mr. Black, simply syrup and coffee.
2. Shake with ice until well-chilled.
3. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a vanilla pod or coffee beans.
